Philippine Senate Delays Duterte Impeachment, Sparking Outrage

The Makabayan Bloc in the Philippines has voiced strong criticism over the delays in the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte. The bloc alleges that the Senate is deliberately delaying the trial to protect influential individuals. Representative France Castro stated, "The Senate's continued postponement is a blatant disregard for the people's will and demands an immediate investigation." The bloc plans sustained protests until the trial commences on June 11th. This delay comes amidst concerns over the use of confidential funds, adding fuel to the controversy. The Makabayan Bloc's actions highlight the ongoing political tensions within the Philippines.
